In segment two, we caught up with Kentucky Public Radio’s Capital Bureau Chief, Kenny Colston, for a rundown on the week’s activities in Frankfort. Topics included three bills involving infrastructure and roads, UPIKE, the status of the state budget in the senate, pseud0ephedrine legislation, and more.

We also looked at the thriving automotive industry in 2012 in the U.S., and the corresponding boom and demand with auto parts suppliers. We heard a feature from Michigan Radio’s Tracy Samilton, and followed that with a chat with Jere Downs, who covers Ford and the auto industry for the Courier-Journal.

Finally, we touched base with sports columnist Eric Crawford of the Courier-Journal to hear his thoughts about the NCAA tournaments and his review of recent games involving area teams, and previews of upcoming games.
